Thank you thank you! Yes, Andrew Ng’s course is still fantastic for the theory behind things, and the programming too if you decide to learn MATLAB/Octave. Though I feel you can skip those if you’re focusing on Python.

Great video as always Daniel. However, one quick suggestion. I wouldn't put SQL under bonus suggestion. I would rather bring it up in the charts. With my 4 years of experience in the field, SQL has proven to be quite crucial!

[@mrdbourke]

[@dominicbaumer6038]

Hey nice video! But u need to recheck ur definitions of Data Science and Data Analytics! Data Science is not only for predicting the Future, DS is the broad topic wich covers all the science around what u can do with data. Data Analysis is one topic of Data Science wich covers specially the analysis part. Its hard to deal with these buzz words bc they get thrown wild through the Internet. Hope this helps u and I can recommend u to do ur own research about what I said here but keep in mind we booth could be wrong :)

[@mrdbourke]

Thank you for the heads up Dominic, I appreciate it

[@josephk.9567]

Hello Daniel! Thanks for the great video. Would this curriculum be different now that the new Andrew Ng machine learning course for beginners is out?

[@mrdbourke]

Yes I would substitute in that course for one of the machine learning courses, Andrew Ng is a phenomenal teacher

[@randomdude79404]

Could you perhaps do a video course on reinforcement learning / deep reinforcement learning similar to the tensforflow course on udemy ?

[@burtking4270]

Did you complete the Michigan Applied Data Science specialization? I'd be interested in a review.

[@mabenba]

Great video! Thanks for the recommendations! But I have a question. After reading all the descriptions of the courses in detail, the two courses in machine learning, I mean the one from Michigan and the one from Washington looked pretty similar to me. Do you recommend us taking booth giving the fact that they cover similar topics? It looks like that the one from Michigan is better organized, but the fact that the one from Washington has more hours confused me to be honest. Also I loved the fact that the one from Michigan seems to go in depth not only in machine learning but in data manipulation and visualization as well (I know it says data science). I already started with Python for everybody by the way! Love your content bro!

[@mrdbourke]

Thank you Matias! I appreciate it! And you're right about the crossover between the two courses, there are a few overlaps (data science and machine learning are broad topics so there's a fair bit to cover). I'd say the Michigan one is a good introduction to data science and machine learning, it also covers a fair bit of machine learning in course 3 (inside it). However, I'd say the one from Washington is an expansion of course 3, going more into detail about different machine learning techniques. In essence, the Michigan one is an introduction and the Washington one is an expansion.

[@404errorpagenotfound.6]

I remember being forced into mandatory subjects along with many other students because the Uni employed a (expensive) top researcher in a very esoteric field. So few students needed the course he was lecturing to 3-5 students, if any. The Uni bean counters could not justify his cost so they made every engineering student study one of his courses. It was a completely irrelevant waste of time and fees for anyone other than the 3 -5 students that needed it. This is the power Uni has over students, they can consume your time and money for what is best for them, students are just cash cows. The lecturer was hella smart and a top tier researcher but he was completely unsuited to teaching undergraduate students. He didn't want to be there, students had no idea why they were there - an education disaster. I am convinced every student automatically passed the subject. 20 years later if I need to learn a new skill it is almost exclusively done thru platforms like Courserra, Udemy etc. Uni's need to upgrade their business model.

[@mrdbourke]

Your story is very similar to mine at university! Online learning allows you to be very specific, learning what you want to learn when you want to

[@404errorpagenotfound.6]

@@mrdbourke University still has a monopoly on the public perception of legitimate learning and credentials. Industry not so much. Industry is more interested in you being able to perform in the job or not and a dose of how well you are known in the field.

Is statistics with python by University of Michigan required? Or is it a good resource after the their applied data science course?

Hi Daniel. A completed your Udemy Course "TensorFlow Developer Certificate: Zero to Mastery" a couple of weeks ago. It was a wonderful course. I wanted to know what should I learn next ? Should I learn Reinforcement Learning next ?

@@mrdbourke Hi ! Could you please suggest a book which covers the practical part for object localisation and detection ?

[@Don_Modern_Ancestor]

I'm reviewing this video on 12/25/2022. It would be interesting to hear feedback from those who followed 2022 Coursera Data Science Curriculum. Also, how would you update this for 2023 or would it be just as effective with no updates? Thanks.

[@mehdi179]

I am not given a pay rise for completing coursera courses. I have not even landed a job using coursera certificates. But I am looking forward to it bro 😉.

[@notoriousft]

No employer gives a damn about these type of certs. I have quite a few of them, and no employer mentioned any of them during interviews. Learn the material, put a personal project on github etc and show them to prospective employers for entry to the industry.

[@mrdbourke]

The skills are most important, skills = potential jobs/pay rises. Maybe not from current employers but future employers.

[@peacekeepermoe]

Never give up, always put high standards for yourself, and if your current employer doesn't appreciate your new skills/certificates, then maybe 2022 is the year to move to a better company that will value your skills. GL bro!

[@Atlas92936]

@@peacekeepermoe Certificates aren't value they are just proof of completion of something. Skill is where value comes in and skill needs to be practiced and honed overtime. The program is good for learning the skill/tool in the beginning. Practice is essential.

[@notoriousft]

@@Atlas92936 Vendor/industry certs are definitely valuable and can get you entry level jobs. Also, some companies have strict requirements for some roles to have certain industry/vendor certs.

[@nishchaysingh5980]

Hello Daniel, I am a ML fresher and just recently completed the ml playlist by Andrew ng.and From that time only I started feeling the curiosity of learning ml . So just the previous year I saw one of your video about the tensor flow developer certificate and you gave your experience about how you did that alone and that really motivated me. I am in my college senior year and so when the company hiring person will hire me this year ,I am not sure whether I will get time for learning ml . So in that case what you think should be a better option if by any means I m unable to invest time in ML which I love most ??

[@elghark]

I'd like to exploit this great video for asking help about Coursera courses: before starting to enroll payment courses, I'd try some of the Data Science courses in 'audit' modality. But what does it exactly mean? Can I study everything ,doing tests, keep all materials and then decide to get the certificate just by paying? Or, in case I decide to get the certification, I have to restart from beginning?

[@aestheticart4955]

Same question

[@jameswhitaker4357]

You get a free week trial with Coursera courses that opt into it. It’s like an audit trial. There are free courses which are structured like that i think though… i did the free week then decided not to be a cheap ass and fork out $50 for a course to invest in my future. You might as well just watch KZbin teachers like Daniel if you want the whole thing free

[@MichaelOdonghanro]

How can I get the advanced course

[@Se-pk8lg]

If I dont sign up into coursers plus, I won't get the full curriculum? At this moment in my life I am strugling to pay for the internet and this becomes a luxury for me. So pay for this is not an option. So my question is, do I need to pay for plus or I can complete the curriculum with the free account?

[@mrdbourke]

You don't need to sign up to Coursera Plus. You can sign up to the courses individually or apply for financial aid for each one individually.

[@mintz347]

before i start please can you give me advice, is this course make me jr. data scientist and could I apply for first job without fear ?

[@mrdbourke]

There will always be fear. This pathway will give a beginner with no experience some fundamental data science skills. Once you've got skills, start the job before you have it: www.mrdbourke.com/how-can-a-beginner-data-scientist-like-me-gain-experience/

Hi Daniel, what do you think about Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate in Coursera?

[@mrdbourke]

If you’re looking to learn more about data analytics, it’s a great resource

[@elghark]

@@mrdbourke So u mean, Google course is more than just 'Data Analytics' and even something about 'Data Science'?

[@voldefox]

What's the point of signing up to Coursera Plus, if we can do most courses for free as well, just without certificates (which employers don't give a damn about anyways)?

[@mrdbourke]

Some people take things more seriously when they’ve paid for it (skin in the game) And you’re right about certificates, skills are more valuable (hence start the job before you have it)

[@Dream4514]

What is better software engineering or data science and machine learning?

[@mrdbourke]

Software engineering doesn’t require data science or machine learning (though all future software will probably include some form of machine learning). Though data science and machine learning, to get into production setting (e.g. an application that people use), requires software engineering.
